This trail can be accessed by Shoaff's Mill and by the environmental
interpretive center. The trail follows the stream Furnace Run and the mill
race. The race is the narrow channel that supplies water to power the
mill. A wayside exhibit explains how the mill race was dug using a mill
race scoop pulled by horses. By Furnace Run hikers can find pieces of
slag, a green colored stone that is a waste product of the iron furnace
that was located upstream. This trail is good for seeing wildflowers.
